We will do our best to replace it with the TT.

very cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

How is it you go about the design process? do you set out to make a dedicated woods knife or edc blade?

like...do you just start designing with something in mind or do you randomly start brainstorming different designs ( i.e big and little knives) then make a choice as to which one gets picked?


sorry to flood but im curious what the design process is... and im sure im not the only one

yea .... blades looking less and less likely for me... i might have to cut down to trade show only again this year... i was really hoping for the chance to make it and go down to FL for some work but thats not panning out ....

but i just got off a rather long business trip

Dan,Can we get our JYD number put on a blade?

Drinking Jameson and Irish cream....

My favorite road trip story is too long to post with a phone. And some of the other my need names and locations changed to protect the guilty. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You are still the only Dog to get me with the challenge coin...I'm kind of paranoid...I do not go anywhere with out it or is that Master Card LOL

as a side note, I've always dreamed of getting a big convertible caddy, and driving all the way to the west coast

im not a picture person honestly , im more into the event and having a good time then snapping pics , trying to get better at it... i need to post some work when i get done... last big trip .. my camera died

i have way to much road time to really think about all the crazy stuff any more... there is so many odd ball things when your driving cross country or trans canada ... or alaska ... or europe ....

but i always manage to find some fun and thats what counts.... that and i pled the 5th on some things..... ill tell my grand kids just to shock em though....

I tried to get ElClintor a second time. Don't let the skinny guys fool you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

i took an ugly truck cross country .... never doubt a beat up truck... only thing is how much gas she went threw ouch but having all the gear and a truck is very cool...

Actually it is all of the above plus an important one you are missing. I take the feedback and input from the Yard very seriously and it is incorporated into my thinking. There are many factors that come into play. Obviously I will not share the actual process since it is an advantage in the market place. But one factor that is never forgotten is the Performance to Price ratio on all designs
